Nitrogen as a real gas

sunilpatil · March 15, 2015, 22:12

Hi everyone,
I am interested to simulate nitrogen passing through JT (joule Thomson) valve by considering nitrogen as a real gas (Isenthalpic Expansion). can you please suggest me any ANSYS Fluent tutorials on Real gas.

Hi I found out the way by considering nist real gas in fluent we can solve this problem

Just a comment. You don't need a real gas to simulate an isenthalpic expansion. But you can do a real gas using NIST.

Hi joule Thomson expansion is isenthalpic and that can be captured by considering real gas as working fluid. Please correct me I am wrong.

Joule Thompson expansion is really just an adiabatic expansion. That is a thermodynamic process from State A to State B. That is independent of the substance or the equation of state of the substance. Any substance can undergo an isenthalpic expansion. The J-T effect is a phenomenon that specifically occurs for a real gas and real substances (which has non-zero J-T coefficient). An ideal gas, by virtue of its definition has J-T coefficient = 0.

If you are simulating J-T effect, then you need to use real gas. But simulating an isenthalpic process is a different problem.
